The Summer Olympics in Beijing, China
I'm really enjoying watching the Olympics - I didn't think that I would watch too much, but once you start watching them, you really get into the spirit of it all!
It was really exiting and a proud moment when last night the rivalry between the French and U.S. came to a head with American Michael Phelps beating the French Alain Bernard, after ( Read more... ) -
Fix You ~ Coldplay
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones ( Read more... ) -
Paradise
I was running at the park the other day, and thinking about various, random things... like how pretty the park is, and also how hard it is to find a godly, attractive man to share my life with. These thoughts led to how Eve was such a fool to give up living in the perfect setting of natural beauty, with friendly animals, delicious food, one man ( Read more... ) -
Rebuke
The Word itself is a great rebuke to world and to the church. Utilizing the rebuke in a godly manner for the instruction of the sinner in righteousness is duty incumbent on the preacher, and the Christian towards sin and wickedness. Many times the rebuke is given up for blind love, in which people believe that such blind love covers a multitude ( Read more... ) -
Too Much Rain Over Paradise!
It rains here almost every day. If I have plans to do something, you can be sure that it will rain! Anyway, here's ATB.

Turpentine... Brandi Carlile
I watch you grow away from me in photographs
And memories like spies
The salt betrays my eyes again
I started losing sleep and gaining weight
And wishing I was ten again
So I could be your friend again
These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's 6 AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But ( Read more... ) -
Rays vs. Royals
My twin nieces Alicia and Ashley, and Ashley's boyfriend Kyle bought two baseball tickets for my mom's birthday to see the Tampa Bay Rays and the Kansas City Royals play ball at 12:40 today in St. Pete. Of course they were for my mom and dad, but I invited myself along and bought a ticket online last night. None of us have been to a professional ( Read more... ) -
Yesterday was my mom's 70th birthday!
We had a really nice day. We were going to go to the park and have a family cook out, but as it's been raining every day here in the evenings, we decided that we would have it at my younger brother and his wife's new house. They were facing foreclosure in their other home because they got behind on the payments after my sister-in-law had cancer ( Read more... ) -
Fourth of July
Why do idiots have to ruin something that should be a nice holiday? It never fails; every holiday, irresponsible and immature cretin have to make it miserable for normal people. One of my neighbors is letting off stupid firecrackers. Some stupid little black kid. He was doing it a couple of days ago, too ( Read more... ) -
Skin
I've been having a tough time lately with this skin condition called Eczema. I've had it at various times in my life, usually when I'm stressed out, and it itches like the dickens! I guess I've inherited it from my mom. Anyway, I've been doing a lot of research (because it's just not going away!)and apparently, it's caused by the underlying ( Read more... )
